Unfortunately I've had a lot going on in my personal life lately.
There are just some things in this world that will always blow your legs out from under you. In about 14 hours I'll be making a 1500 mile trip across the US for mental health reasons, as there have been several things brought to my attention as of late that must be adressed. Ive moved a lot through the years, and it has exacerbated my illnesses to a degree I was previously unaware of.
It's cost me my health, arguably my most recent job, and now, the love of my life. So, for the betterment of my woman, and the necessity to get my life under control, I'll be walking away from everything I've built for myself for the better part of the last decade. It's easily the scariest thing I've ever had to do.
I only hope that my contributions to these boards (that weren't obvious jokes) did more good than anything for anyone in War Robots, despite the ridiculous direction Pixo has taken recently.
No bull「dookie」 this time. This is goodbye guys.

Take care friend. I personally preferred your jokes about the dark side of Pix, personally.

(I'll stop now before this joke gets very meta). Good luck to you on your big adventure (it is an adventure isn't it?) and here is hoping that things are going in the right direction! |

I missed this thread when it occurred... if you happen to take a peek at it later, know that I wish you well. Your initial breakdown of the old MM was invaluable... and even when you had insight that I disagreed with, I always valued your POV.
Good luck, God Bless, and don't let the haters plant any seeds as you transition. You got this, friend.
Cheers!

Hate to hear it, but the plow of life turns all of our soil now and then. Better days ahead. Hang in there. Keep us posted when you get the chance, too. You don't have to play to post.

I hope you the best, you'll be missed but Hey don't disappear forever, try to show up for at least once in a while, we don't like losing good people here, there are not so many others that can take the places of who left.

Life is like when you drop your soap of dreams in the shower and as you bend over to pick up what's left of it and life comes from behind you and....you get the idea..
Good luck with whatever you do or think of doing.

It seems I made the right choice in traveling all the way back to my place of origin (NYC) to get a handle on things. I really have to give the systems credit for how much they've grown from my past experiences with them.
I guess when a city has 8million+ people in it, there isn't any room for anything less than well oiled machines.
I'm fortunate enough to have the few people in my personal life that have helped me up until now and will probably be with me for time to come.
I'll have quite a bit of down time for the rest of the season thanks to the waiting times involved with everything I have to do, so, I guess I'm back until BoT pops up, or something less than favorable happens.
Thanks for all the well wishes guys. The situation hasn't really improved, but has at least transitioned to something somewhat more stable than it was.

Glad to hear that you are at least moving in the right direction and you have the support available to you. All the best for the near and distant future.

The situation hasn't really improved, but has at least transitioned to something somewhat more stable than it was. Sometimes, that's about all you can hope for for the time being. Without getting too religious (I know that can be a touchy subject), through some introspection and serious thought I've found that if I take a few healthy steps back, I see that some things in life really did take a bit of doing to get sorted out to a resolution. I've found that I've gone through a lot of mental and emotional stress, pain, anguish in my personal life -- in three separate cases for numerous years -- but it was for a reason. Looking back, I realized that, learned from each situation, and am better for it. More recently, my family went without a house for 362 days. During that time, I lived with my parents while continuing to work and my wife and 2+ kids lived 6 hours away with my in-laws. We entered into that scenario because we were led to believe that it would be truly short-term because the marked would be loaded with exactly what we needed and wanted. Turns out, it wasn't. In the end, we found a house in a completely different part of Maryland than we'd even remotely considered, that cost more than we'd ever considered but is in the perfect area for us. It took the time lapse to be able to afford the pricier place (out of necessity), to learn from all the home visits, commute trials, and ton of research to realize that was The Place when I went there. Had it come on the market earlier, we'd never have known about it because we wouldn't have looked. Had it come on the market earlier, we would never have considered it because the settlement price was still $45k more than our previous upper bound. Had we looked at even a slightly lower price point even a month earlier than we did, we wouldn't have seen it because the sellers had previously listed it $20k more than when we even saw it. Had I seen it listed even a day later, we would have missed out because the family seeing the house right after my appointment also put in a contract offer that the sellers liked slightly less than ours. We found it at the exact right time.
The moral of all this is sometimes there's a lot of bull「dookie」 to wade through until you get to your resolution. And in my experience, when I've looked back at the whole thing, I've seen how many points in the road were distinctly notable. Welcome back, Redfiend. I hope all the best for you IRL. |

People that overtly criticize well wishes because they have religious tones are why athiests have a bad name lol. I've worked hard for a long time, the situation has forced me to acknowledge things I thought I could work passed if I kept going. It wasn't the case, and I'm forced to care for myself, something I haven't given any thought to in all of my adult life. Thank you for sharing, I'm glad that your situation worked out, and even moreso that you can speak about it with gratitude. While everyone's relationship with God is personal and different, I recieve what I ask for on a daily basis: The strength to carry on. I'm grateful for that, and good people in the world, despite the current state of affairs.The saying among those close to me is: "Some people leave the house to go to the store on the corner and never make it home, gratefulness for the blessings we have, no matter how small, is what makes good people" |

life has been tough for me as well these days... hope things get better soon!
